Whether you are a planner or a procrastinator, having a strong and up-to-date estate plan should be at the top of your to-do list. In addition to providing the peace of mind of knowing your final wishes will be legally documented, an estate plan provides a road map for your loved ones to know how to care for you if you are no longer able to care for yourself and/or your financial and legal affairs.
